From a design point of view, I think it's really great, but there's a couple of tweaks I would make. First, I would ditch the Zapfino script font, it's quite distracting and jars with the other fonts. Secondly, I would slightly increase the

Oh yeah, jQuery is far sexier than plain ol' Javascript (look at the amount of tutorials on sites like Smashing Magazine), because messing around with jQuery is far easier for the beginner than playing with Javascript

I made a Twitter-bot a while ago for HN, I find it useful and there's over 7000 people following it now. It's only new stories in the top 5 though, mainly to stop information overload. http://twitter.com/newsycombinator/

Call me suspicious but I doubt these redesigns were done by Facebook, the author of the post is a 16 year old British guy and the screenshots look like they're taken from a 16 year old British guys profile rather than a designer working in

The reason why polls are so popular is because they're easy to understand. You have one vote, you select the option you think is the correct answer to the question and the result show the spread of people's opinions. Adding a layer of compl

Does anyone else worry that these animations are going to get seriously misused? I know they look pretty cool, but I can definitely see them becoming the post-Web-2.0 blink and marquee tags Also, shouldn't animation be part of Javascript ra
